Through a symphony of symbols and colours, “Summer Gatherings” captures the essence of community, connection, kinship and the rhythms of the land.
I have used traditional symbols of people sitting, celebrating the tradition of gatherings during the summer season, a time when communities come together to share stories, wisdom, and laughter. Campsites dotting the land symbolise the temporary homes that spring to life during this time of communal Australian celebration.
Each imprint of Kangaroo & Emu tracks tell a story of the wildlife that thrives in the summer landscape.
A gradient of dark greens represent the lushness of summer foliage that provide sustenance and shelter to both people and wildlife alike.
This artwork invites you into a world where nature’s bounty and human presence harmonise in the warm embrace of summer.
